My Psy­chol­ogy Today and Open Salon blogs are both about an expe­ri­enced therapist’s take on some of the emo­tional, social and some­times polit­i­cal issues that not just clients, but all of us strug­gle with these days. I seem to have a wide-ranging audi­ence of a fairly wide age-span, so it’s kind of hard to cat­e­go­rize them.

My blog offers tid­bits to taste within a transper­sonal frame­work by expand­ing aware­ness of who we are and a sense of our con­nect­ed­ness with some­thing beyond our­selves. My method­ol­ogy seeks, in part, to link our body and our per­cep­tion of the world by eas­ily percep­ti­ble explo­rations into words. Savor­ing the words, let them stand as a guide on our path toward whole being and actualization.
